LyricSyllable

LyricSyllable(duration: Duration | None = None, word: Word, index: int = 0)

One sung syllable: the index-th syllable of word.

The syllables of a word share one Word, so the text, the position in the word and the lexical stress are all read from it. Syllables are placed in sequence with NEXT edges, and a LYRIC edge from a note marks the syllable’s onset: the notes that go on sustaining it (a melisma) carry no edge, and a note may begin several syllables (a reciting tone). The duration is normally None: the sung length is the notes’.
